Palestinian Reconciliation "Collapsing" over Weapons Dispute, Hamas Leader Says
(Times of Israel) Dov Lieber - Hamas Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar said Thursday that the Palestinian reconciliation process is failing. "Whoever doesn't see that reconciliation is collapsing is blind," said Sinwar. "Some people want reconciliation on Israeli and American terms, which means handing over weapons and the tunnel and rocket capabilities." An Egyptian-brokered agreement set a Dec. 1 deadline for Hamas to fully transfer power in Gaza to the PA, but Hamas police still patrol the streets, while crippling electricity shortages endure.
